OPY Neptunes

The Nevada Neptunes has a long-standing presence in the Nevada community and the Osage Prairie YMCA is proud to be continuing the legacy since 2022.

Two Seasons for Year-Round Competition

OPY Swim Club teams give swimmers ages 4-21 a place to improve their strokes, build endurance, and compete in exciting swim meets! All our coaches for OPY Swim Club teams complete coach safety training.

OPY Swim Club competes in two different seasons. The summer season begins with a pre-season period during the month of May, then the regular season begins the first of June and continues through the first weekend of August. The winter season begins in mid-September and goes through mid-March. During both seasons, the team competes at sanctioned meets, giving your child the opportunity to compete against other swimmers both locally and throughout the region.

Qualified swimmers ideally will have completed swim lessons and/or be able to swim 25 yards unassisted. Coaches are available for one-on-one evaluations to determine if a child is ready for swim team.
